We give a survey of the entropy theory of interval maps as it can be analyzed using ergodic theory, especially measures of maximum entropy and periodic points. The main tools are (i) a version of Hofbauer's Markov diagram, (ii) the…
These are notes for a mini-course of 3 lectures given at the St. Petersburg School in Probability and Statistical Physics (June 2012). My aim was to explain, on the example of a particular model, how ideas from the representation theory of…
The dissertation describes ergodic properties of some stochastic dynamical systems generated by Markov chains with values in the state space which is a Polish space. The mathematical model describing the process of cell division is…
The paper below is a written version of the 17th Andrzej Lasota Lecture presented on January 12th, 2024 in Katowice. During the lecture we tried to show the impact of Andrzej Lasota's results on the author's research concerning various…
The Oseledets Multiplicative Ergodic theorem is a basic result with numerous applications throughout dynamical systems. These notes provide an introduction to this theorem, as well as subsequent generalizations. They are based on lectures…
These are the lecture notes of a course taught at the Park City Mathematics Institute in June 2017. They are intended to review some recent results, obtained in large part with Thomas Lebl\'e, on the statistical mechanics of systems of…
We consider typical Lagrange and Markov dynamical spectra associated to horseshoes on surfaces. We show that for a large set of real functions on the surface, the minima of the corresponding Lagrange and Markov dynamical spectra coincide…
Content of the lectures is the following. Properties of transformations equivalent to ergodicity. Birkhoff's Theorem. Properties equivalent to weak mixing. On typical properties of transformations. Lego to construct transformations. Typical…
The Markov and Lagrange dynamical spectra, was introduced by Moreira and share several geometric and topological aspects with the classical ones. However, some features of generic dynamical spectra associated to hyperbolic sets can be…
These are expanded lecture notes for the summer school on Berkovich spaces that took place at the Institut de Math\'ematiques de Jussieu, Paris in 2010. They serve to illustrate some techniques and results from the dynamics on…

The (classical) Lagrange spectrum is a closed subset of the positive real numbers defined in terms of diophantine approximation. Its structure is quite involved. This article describes a polynomial time algorithm to approximate it in…
This text is based on a series of three expository lectures on a variety of topics related to "thin orbits," as delivered at Durham University's Easter School on "Dynamics and Analytic Number Theory" in April 2014. The first lecture reviews…
These notes originated in a series of lectures I gave in Marseille in May, 2013. I was invited to give an introduction to the isomorphism theorems, originating with Dynkin, which connect Markov local times and Gaussian processes. This is an…
Let $L$ and $M$ denote the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra, respectively. It is known that $L\subset M$ and that $M\setminus L\neq\varnothing$. Inspired by three questions asked by the third author in previous work investigating the…
